AM is dead thanks to iBiquity and the HD Radio Alliance!
WOR 710 turned on their HD/IBOC tonight and when its skywave skips
into Maryland WLW is unlistenable. WOR completely obliterates WGN 720. I would like to commend iBiquity and the HD Radio Alliance for the desturuction of AM, all for the benefit of a few thousand local listeners, if they can even pick up the HD/IBOC signals: Narkspud wrote: "Here in OC, I found two AM HD signals on the air at 12:15 AM: Our own KFWB (980, Los Angeles) and KFBK (1530, Sacramento). KFWB is always reliable during the day hereabouts, and has a non-directional 5,000- watt signal. KFBK is a 50,000-watt north-south directional, about 400 miles north of here. Now the bad news: no lock on either one for more than a second or two, although the analog signals sounded fine. And this time I tried driving around a bit. I got very little other than a flashing HD indicator. KFWB's sidebands obliterated 970 and 990, and KFBK'S were doing significant damage to an unidentified distant signal on 1520 that should have been listenable. This ain't looking too good. See ya tomorrow night." http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=906379 Boycott HD Radio! |

And every one of them sucks. Music radio is good when intelligent DJs pick their own music. Otherwise your pushing crap on **** eaters. DJs picking their own music and respectable listening levels do not go together. Any time a station allows that, and is somewhat successful, like progressive rock in the late 60's, someone comes and structures the same concept and kills the free form station. The exceptions are very, very rare. |

In the markets where stations provide digital versions of their main analog signal as well as multicasting in some instances, radio reaches in excess of 95% of all persons. You may not find anything you like, but most people do. Going back to the Pulse and Hooper and Trendex surveys of the 50's, there has always been a percentage of folks who do not use radio... about 5% in the last 40 years on average, and another 6% to 7% that are very light users. So nothing, really, has changed at all. |

They were the only rock station at night where I grew up, in suck-ass Scottsdale. You mean KOMA in its CHR days? No. When they were Top 40. CHR sucks. CHR and Top 40 are the same thing. A trade magazine decided, to distinguish its chart from others, to use CHR back in the 70s and it stuck because nobody in the business side of the industry liked the teen image of the term Top 40. Wrong! CHR is very crossover averse and narrow. Top 40 was the epitome of ecclecticism and variety. CHR was the "new" name for Top 40, courtesy of Radio & Records magazine. The same stations that reported as Top 40 to Billboard and Cashbox and Rudman and Gavin and Hamilton simultaneously reported as CHR to R&R. CHR today includes r&b, hip hop, dance, alternative, rock, pop, etc. It has as much variety as the format had in 1957... maybe more.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Jesus - that crap on clearchannelmusic.com/hdradio makes me vomit - I listen to my own "personalized" music on slacker.com.

KFWB is always reliable during the day hereabouts, and has a non-directional 5,000- watt signal. KFBK is a 50,000-watt north-south directional, about 400 miles north of here. Now the bad news: no lock on either one for more than a second or two, although the analog signals sounded fine. And this time I tried driving around a bit. I got very little other than a flashing HD indicator. KFWB's sidebands obliterated 970 and 990, and KFBK'S were doing significant damage to an unidentified distant signal on 1520 that should have been listenable. This ain't looking too good.
